To winder what the benefit of conspiracy theories are?

[malificent7]

Everyone can see that there is a global elite and that with money comes power so they prob are controlling us.
There probably are loafs of things that the governments/ elite aren't telling us from covid, the war in Ukraine to ufo sightings/aliens among us and the cure for cancer etc.

But can we do anything about it? No. So what is the point of worrying about it? Sorry ...I've had to listen to a lot of this stuff recently.

Please share your mist outrageous theories...either yours or anyone elses... also what is the benefit?!

To spread general distrust in institutions so others can destabilise them / other powers can influence for their own agenda.

It is helpful to have a questioning mind and not just accept everything you are told at face value. It is not helpful to believe the Queen is a lizard.

Conspiracy theories and the poorly educated go hand in hand.

Sorry for awful typos....bloody phone!

Conspiracy theories comfort their victims believers because it’s better to believe that there’s some all powerful something out there which is controlling things, than to realise the truth, that governments are not all-powerful and are just a bunch of people, some not so bright, trying to manage things as best they can. Just look at where we are right now with the cost of living crisis, energy crisis and the climate going out of control. There’s nobody out there pulling all the strings. But that’s scary, so believing in the Illuminati helps some people sleep better at night.

It’s all bollocks.
